NZWPW

Rufguts used his size to his advantage in the main event of Hastings Havoc this past Friday (October 24), overpowering the other three men in his fatal four-way match. He was unable to take the win though, as Jimmy Sparx picked his moment and tied the former rubbish man up in a submission hold, forcing Rufguts to tap out.

The action spilled out of the ring early in the match, allowing the vocal Hastings crowd to get closer to the match than they had expected. Dan Stirling became the victim of a three-on-one beat down at one point in the match, before Sparx and Infinity turned their attention to Rufguts. The two lighter men (Infinity and Sparx) leapt from the middle rope to deliver dual cross-body presses to Stirling and Rufguts.

At the end of the night it was Sparx who stood tall. Will Jimmy be able to pick a moment to capitalise and take the win when he wrestles D-Hoya at NZWPW’s The Big One next month?

• JC Star def. Axl
  Having met at Invasion, Stage 4 just one week ago, Axl and JC Star engaged in a rematch in Hastings. Star’s high-risk style almost cost him the match when he missed a moonsault on Axl, but fighting his way back Star was able to reach deep and hit the Sex Drive on Axl.
